Been with car shield since Aug 2020 never had an issue except for a part not being covered. I used it this time (altho I totally forgot I had it until the commercial came on) from then it was so easy and quick. My $700 job for repairs and rental, I only pd $100 deductible for repairs and nothing on my rental all I can say is WON'T GOD DO IT when u don't know how u can

False claim coverage
November 29, 2024

My monthly payments for coverage apparently were a waste of money. When my check engine and overheating sensors were going off, and taking into one of your approved bodyshops, you come back with we're not paying for it and there's nothing we can do about it. With no attempts to fix your fault.

Nicole, it is unfortunate to hear that you were not satisfied with our services. After further review, it appears the claim was denied per the contract terms and conditions. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.

Disappointed

I pay on my Car Shield monthly, and to say the service were not covered, I can't believe that. Seems like I'm just wasting money.

Satisfied but it could have been better
November 28, 2024

We have been paying for Carshield for years. This is the first time we've had to use their service. The representatives were friendly, but the back and forth with the repair shop was frustrating. The mechanics are the experts and Carshield fought them every step of the way. In the end they did make a significant payment towards our car but we still had a large out of pocket expense.

John, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. After further review of your account, it appears there are some parts that were not listed for coverage under your contract. Furthermore, it appears there were differences in the labor rates and part prices that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim. We are here to assist you in any way we can.
